That leaves only three original cast members returning full-time for Season 7: Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou and Bre-Z.

According to the official logline, Season 7 “is taking it back to where it all began: Beverly Hills High and South Crenshaw High.

Michael Wright, head of MGM+, said in a statement: "We call MGM+ ‘television for movie lovers,’ and English and Glenn’s Robin Hood is the epitome of our brand promise.

Ryan Murphy defends Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story after Erik Menendez criticism
“I think it’s interesting that he’s issued a statement without having seen the show,” Murphy told E.T. in response to Erik recently calling his Netflix series “naive and inaccurate.” “It’s really, really hard — if it’s your life — to see your life up on screen.” Murphy added: "The thing that I find interesting that he doesn’t mention in his quote, is if you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 percent of our show in the scripts and in the film form center around the abuse and what they claim happened to them. And we do it very carefully and we give them their day in court and they talk openly about it.”

Lorne Michaels admits to being "aloof" but denies being "tyrannical" in never-before-heard 2004 60 Minutes interview
The long-running CBS News newsmagazine has launched a podcast called 60 Minutes: A Second Look, which weaves together interviews Lesley Stahl conducted with Michaels for a 2004 profile. The episode, "From Saturday Night Live to Sunday with 60 Minutes,” revolves around the lore around Michaels and his management approach, according to The Hollywood Reporter. At one point, Stahl can be heard asking him if he was, as she’d heard, “aloof” and “sometimes tyrannical.” Michaels confirms the former (“definitely”), but denies the latter, noting: “Tyrannical I can’t respond to because I’d have to have a big outburst and be tyrannical to either prove or disprove it.” Michaels also denied that he was prone to outbursts. The podcast also reveals Michaels' unaired reaction to Stahl to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 lip-sync snafu. “I think accidents happen. I think that's the nature of live television,” Michaels told Stahl.

Chicago Med's new showrunner plans to bring more humor and familiar faces to Season 10
Allen MacDonald, who succeeded longtime showrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider, tells Variety he watched all 176 One Chicago episodes to prepare for the job. "I feel like the show has always been very emotionally based, and that was a beautiful foundation that Andy and Diane had built and kept going for nine seasons," he says. "And I just want to build on top of that, because I love telling stories that are emotional. But I believe that if I’m bringing a unique brand of storytelling to the show, it is to continue the emotion of the characters in their interactions, but I also like bringing humor. I’m not saying the show didn’t have humor before at all. I have always loved drama, and I’ve especially always loved drama with humor sprinkled in there too. And when I say humor, I don’t mean jokes, I mean recognizably human moments that people laugh at because they recognize it in themselves or someone they know. A laugh is an emotional reaction. It’s almost self-protective, because they laugh because it kind of makes them want to cry too.”
